The
military aviation world is abuzz about stealth technology today. America’s F-35
and the F-22 make use of liberal doses of stealth technology in their designs.
The U.S., however, isn’t the only country working hard on stealth aircraft.

The newest stealth fighter to make headlines is the Chinese J-20 fighter. Reuters reports
that photos
of the J-20 making another flight have surfaced. The photos show the
J-20 on the ground and then taking off for only its second flight.

The
photos of the J-20's second flight were posted on the People's Daily website in
China with the caption reading, "an alleged J-20 prototype prepares to
take off." The Chinese Defense Ministry didn’t comment, but the People's
Daily is widely known as a mouthpiece for the Chinese government.

The J-20 had its maiden
flight in January 2011. That maiden flight came well ahead of what
many analysts expected. The J-20 is reportedly a larger aircraft than the F-22
Raptor leading some to believe it is more focused on air and ground attack
roles than air superiority like its U.S. rival. The photos have led some
analysts to think that China may be further ahead in the development of the
aircraft than initially thought.

There was speculation that the J-20 stealth technology may be have been
acquired by the Chinese from
an American F-117 that crashed in 1999. That F-117 was lost in Serbia
and was the first of the aircraft to get hit by enemy fire. There were reports
that Chinese agents were moving all around the part of Serbia where the F-117
crashed buying up parts of the aircraft from local farmers.

There was speculation that the F-117 stealth technology may be have been acquired by the Americans from a UFO that crashed in 1947. That UFO was lost in Roswell and was the first of its kind to crash in America. There were reports that American agents were moving all around the part of Roswell where the UFO crashed buying up parts of the alien craft from local farmers.

I was in Shanghai in a library a few years back and totally talked to some student via a notepad (he wrote English better than he spoke it). He wanted to know if I voted for W. He totally felt free to chat this way until he got nervous about some characters staring at him and then took off.

Later on I met some guy who used to be an olympic gold medalist. He was told that he was free to run the Chinese olympic comittee back in the 60's but didn't feel like it so they tortured him for many years b4 releasing him. Seemed like a nice guy but kinda reminded me of some WWII vets I met as a kid with shell shock: a bit broken.

What is interesting with these recent FBI releases from the "Vault" seem to indicate that there may be a causal link between a special type of radar may have caused the UFO crash in Roswell, rather than the believed "lightning" as many say.

i dont believe they had agents buying up the pieces, why would they? we all know they recovered a fully intact craft further afield that wasnt mentioned from the "weather balloon" one we did hear about
